CHINOS

I am frantically and unfairly inlove with chinos. Yes those men pants that come in all colours. I went to Mr Price the other day to buy one for my little brother , because I didn’t know his size, the guy at the shop told me to fit them. He said if I fit them and they fit well , they will surely fit my brother. I Did that. And, they looked good on me. So I had to do what a girl has to do. I took them. Not for my brother but for me. Yes, and I’m planning on getting 5 in different colours. Don’t judge.

Rihanna for MAC and River Island

Rihanna’s life at this time is on its topmost. The girl has 7 albums in 7 years. She is only 25 years old. Her 777 tour was a great success. She just launched a clothing line for River Island which I personally like. On that one, other critics think there’s too much nudity and a normal girl wouldn’t wear that.

Well I think they need to learn something or two about style. Rihanna and River Island presented fashion to us. As individuals, we need to find our own style in it. Obviously you can’t wear that net skirt everywhere; rather you can wear it to the beach just like Riri did. The jumpsuits wear great for.

They need no fashion explanation. The florals wear trendy. What I didn’t like was the floral skinny pants, I just felt like they have been done before.  Rihanna is a fashion idol to millions, and her line will be a huge success. This girl is on fire.  On top of that she has joined hands with MAC. That is big. I say you go Riri and I’ll be buying one of those jumpsuits online soon.

Rihanna on the cover of Billboard Magazine

Finally my girl Rihanna is on the cover of a magazine that has nothing but everything to do with music. The cover of the Billboard magazine.

Jennifer Stano

I must say Jennifer Stano is one the swim wear models I adore. She is not just a model but a businesswoman with her own swim wear line.  I can’t get enough of her blog www.jenniferstano.blogspot.com. She basically blogs about anything, from fashion to Greece food. Her blog has content and she damn can write. And her closet is to die for, especially her shoe collection, wow. She is currently pregnant and if you want tips on what to wear when pregnant, Jennifer Stano’s blog is a must visit.  

What happened to being unique?

What happened to being unique?

So gone are those 2010, 2011 days where people were distinctive in their fashion world that people thought they had a disease or something. Yes they had fashion leper. Akon has just introduced Lady Gaga to us and she was emerging as this fashion monster, well she took it toooo far. But it was great, and it was fresh air. Rihanna came with her individual style and the Gossip Girl crew also just wouldn’t stop with their amiable wardrobe.

But something happened. Social network happened. The increase of use of fashion blogs increased. All of a sudden everyone had a blog and everyone was a fashionista. Yes. People are now posting their “what I’m wearing” pictures, everyday. And when you look at them, it’s the same prints, turbans, neon, blazers, and tribal prints. All the trending items. Everybody is wearing the same outfit in different colours and sizes. We are all wearing turbans. When I first wore mine last year, students in my campus thought I was losing my mind. No I wasn’t , I was just being unique. But with this sharing of fashion tips, how unique can one remain?

Well you can argue that there are people out there who are still unique like Solange Knowles, who can wear anything but hey what she wore 5 minutes ago is now on everybody’s wardrobe. See those All Star sneakers Rihanna loves, oh well everybody has them too.

So then no one is unique. No we are all unique?

 It’s a good thing to follow trends but to remain your true self in that process you have to know and find your true style in those tribal prints. Well if people are tying them the Egyptian way, then wear them the traditional Zulu way. When they go south, don’t go north because north is obvious, go east.

I always say I will rather not be accepted in society than be normal. In fact normal just doesn’t exist in my vocabulary and if you are a true unique fashionista, you shouldn’t be even able to pronounce that.

I don’t know Lady Gaga use to be the wow factor but now she is expected, you know if it’s not the weird hairdo it’s the politically incorrect shoes and that takes the fun away from it.
